The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with great city views, though located near the elevator. The breakfast room is adorned with lovely screens while providing ample wardrobe space, a desk, and reading lamps. The service is exceptional, with a focus on guest satisfaction and informed staff. The location is ideal for exploring shops and restaurants on foot, though a bit far from Casco Viejo. The dining experience excels with a variety of options but may need better organization during peak times.

The location was superb, allowing me to explore the city easily. However, the dining options were a bit lacking in variety. Overall, a great value for money experience.
